Rahall To Vote Against Repeal Of Heath Care Reform
WEST VIRGINIA....
West Virginia Third District Congressman Nick Rahall says he will vote against repeal of the heath care reform law. He says the law has produced positive results in West Virginia. Rahall says more than 30,000 seniors in West Virginia have received additional assistance in paying costly Medicare prescription drug bills, and now receive fifty percent discounts on generic drugs, while also providing numerous benefits that state residents need. "West Virginians are no longer subject to lifetime limits on their health insurance, and those who have been denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition can now apply for affordable insurance," Rahall said. "Young adults now are able to stay on their parents’ insurance through age 26." Rahall says his decision to vote against repeal of the law does not mean he doesn't want changes. Rahall, who voted in favor of the bill when it passed in the House in October 2009, has cosponsored legislation to remove overly burdensome reporting requirements for small businesses, the so-called 1099 requirement.
